Last week, Maxst participated at Korea VR Festival 2017 (KVRF 2017), which was held at the Sangam Digital Media Complex business district in western Seoul from September 16 to September 20.
The event, co-hosted by the Ministry of Science and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), brought together nearly 200 AR/VR manufacturers and suppliers from both home and abroad. And of course, KVRF 2017 was a great chance to experience the latest AR/VR technologies and to take a glimpse at how virtual & augmented reality can impact on ordinary lives now and in the future.

We exhibited Maxst AR SDK, a video call remote support service based on AR called VIVAR and Hyundai Virtual Guide. These 3 main products received the attention of visitors and the media.

Additionally, as a part of the event, Ph.D. Cho, who is in charge of Maxst research lab gave a lecture on Maxst AR SDK and it also successfully finished in the presence of a large audience.

We are thank you for your firm support and looking forward to meeting you again at ITU Telecom World 2017, which will be held at Bexco convention center in Busan from September 25 to September 28.

Maxst is always working on improving the performance of MAXST AR SDK.
The improvement task focuses on image, 3D, object recognition and SLAM technology. And today, we would like to present the enhanced performance of image-based AR SDK engine.
As you can see on the video, MAXST AR SDK enables robust tracking in various conditions such as fast camera movement, bent or partly hidden images.
The next video is a footage of a performance comparison test of image-based AR between MAXST AR SDK and Kudan SDK.
The test done under the same condition clearly shows the difference in performance between MAXST AR SDK and Kudan SDK.

Maxst have been to company outing last Friday and Saturday for two days. This year Yang-Pyeong was chosen for our outing place as it takes only one and half hour from Seoul as well as providing a beautiful scenery and fresh air. It was a worthful time to socialize together with members of Maxst so we get to know each other more and more while doing various outdoor activities such as a foot volleyball and a basket ball game. Plus countless talking and singing until the sun almost comes up. Let us show you how we have enjoyed the last weekend of May 2015.Company outing which was more like family outing has been safely done and now we have come back to our daily routine as usual. However, the happy memories we have made would become a good source of being more creative and more vigorous at work!Thank you.
